LOUISVILLE WATER TOWER WEDDING | LINDSEY AND JACK

October 18, 2025

We’ve truly weathered it all with these two! From photographing their freezing February engagement photos, to their unusually hot October wedding day in Louisville at the Water Tower… And somehow through every extreme, they always showed up with the biggest smiles and best attitudes.

Their wedding day was a full-on celebration of the life they’ve built side by side. The support surrounding them was undeniable, and it set the tone for the entire day. For example, one of our favorite moments was during their first look… We noticed the entire wedding party & Lindsey’s mom watching it all unfold from the window. They had the BIGGEST smiles on their faces, and it was clear that everyone was simply grateful to be part of something so special.

Lindsey & Jack, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us with so many meaningful memories. It’s been an honor to walk alongside you through this season… regardless of heat OR snow❤️‍🔥

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
